Thanks in advance

Make sure what you have before scrapping it.

But it would have to be in driving distance. Without knowing if the block/head is cracked its a gamble.
scrapper would pay, at best $10/100 for mixed iron/steel. So figure $50-70 less gas and time. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,296 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,296 | whatever someone will pay, check with a scrap metal buyer
Bill Curious why you would recommend scrapping a running Stovebolt engine? $100 for the engine and $100 for the transmission is what can be expected to receive from someone looking for them around here. Carl

Eventually I plan to build up a few and offer them to collectors/restorers who want period-correct engines.
